[quote=Anonymous]I feel like I’m an outlier. I can’t add up how many time my kids have been on antibiotics. My oldest got chronic ear infections when younger (ended up with ear tubes because they were affecting his hearing) and was also in the PICU with pneumonia on an IV antibiotic drip as a toddler. My middle kid went through a couple years of recurrent strep, but now hasn’t had it in a while. So it comes in waves and then they can go years without needing an antibiotic. My youngest is 5 and I don’t think he has ever taken an antibiotic now that I think about it. I’m grateful to have antibiotics when needed though. We are incredibly lucky to be alive in a time when we can easily treat infections whereas infection used to be a major cause of death in the past. And my kids microbiomes seem fine. I’ve also had to take antibiotics for pneumonia, UTIs, etc. and I’m totally fine. But I eat lots of yogurt, so maybe that helps?[/quote]
